I will admit being put off by the opening slam on creationists. It's a common cheap shot. I'm an agnostic so certainly not a creationist but I have to think that if there were a God who was capable of creating the entire universe and everything in it he would also be able to create a genetic record and fossil record that would reflect whatever he, in his infinite wisdom, wanted.

Nothing you can find can prove that the Earth wasn't created 6,000 years ago by an omnipotent God. The key word is omnipotent.

  My neighbor is an employee of the Mormon Church and is involved in their genealogy project of attempting to record the entire history of mankind (Familysearch.org). Public records get a little hazy after a few generations unless you find a connection to royal blood. In playing with their computer program, I found branches of ancestors that went all the way back to Adam and he was documented to having born in 4000 BC. His father was listed as God, so there you are. Mankind is 6015 years old and I am directly related to God.

        well, if I were related to God, I would already know
        about your dog. . as I am not omniscient, I need to
        ask about your dog. . please? -- j

        Well, I asked my neighbor about all the carbon dating of fossils and bones that were older than 6015 years and he just laughed. He's pretty sure we all are related to God though. I suspect that my dog knows about as much as we do but he's not talking.

        It's easier to ignore reality when your starting point is fear of the dark - even when the sun is shining.

        But it is a great way to control the ignorant.

        I was afraid of the dark when I was a kid. . . . . then,
        the night came when I slept in a cave. . . went to sleep
        with a candle burning and awoke with the strangest feeling --
        nothing changed when I moved my eyelids up and down.
        then, I grabbed my flashlight and it was all okay.
        
        today, I have a very large flashlight collection. -- j
        
        p.s. it was Nickajack cave, now under Nickajack Lake,
        a TVA embayment.

  and the same in producing some people who are capable of deciphering all the clues.

  the intrigue of our little pup having a long previous history
  was what I enjoyed about this -- after I got over the early
  slam, as you rightly call it. . if our little Fuzzybutt is carrying genes
  modified 33 thousand years ago, it's a cause for a tad more respect! -- j

    And I like the information. Humans and dogs have obviously been a team for a very long time.

    Same old ....Same old. If their mouths are moving they are lying. Maybe we should revert back to 'that's old news."
    
    Hows your dog?
